Chapter 990: Food for the King, Worry for Loyalty
Before Anjing and Xiao Changyi arrived at the bottom of the Nanshen City Tower, they heard Wang Youbao's voice-
"General Lu, I really want to go in and take a look. Just let me go in."
As the salt transporter in the Nanshen area, Wang Youbao did not work in Nanshen City, which allowed him to avoid this plague.
"Mr. Wang, it's not that I won't let you in. If you let you in, you won't let you out. Are you really sure you want to come in?" After pausing, the general guarding the city in Nanshen City said again: "Your Highness the Crown Prince said that if you lock down the city, there will be no entry or exit, otherwise, there will be no mercy."
Wang Youbao also knew that the Crown Prince was like this to prevent the spread of the plague to other places. He said righteously: "Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king. Your prince is sick. How can I protect myself from it? General Lu, please open the door, I will go in."
General Lu was very surprised that other adults were hiding and did not dare to come to Nanshen City. Wang Youbao wanted to come in awe, and admired Wang Youbao's integrity, but he still did not dare to let Wang Youbao in, so he said, "Let's do this, I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince. If His Highness the Crown Prince agrees to you, you will open the city gate."
Wang Youbao bowed to General Lu, who was standing on the city tower: "Then General Lu will be thankful."
Hearing the sound of horse hooves getting closer, Wang Youbao subconsciously looked back and saw An Jing and Xiao Changyi and others riding on horseback.
"Master! Master!" Wang Youbao was very surprised.
When An Jing saw Wang Youbao, she was also quite surprised. She tightened the reins and asked Tayue to stop. She did not dismount, but said seriously: "Youbao, we have heard what you said to the general who guarded the city just now. Your father and I don't agree to you go in. You might as well go back quickly."
Last month, she received a letter from Wang Youbao, saying that Li Wuyu was pregnant.
It is a great danger to go in. She really opposed Wang Youbao going in.
"You can't help much when you go in, it's better not to go in." After a pause, An Jing said again: "If you really want to help, you can come around from time to time. Maybe we have something to ask you to do. We can't get out after we go in. You are outside. If we have something, you can call you on the city tower and ask you to do it. But you must remember to stay away from the Nanshen Tower to prevent plague."
Wang Youbao felt that An Jing’s words were reasonable, so he agreed: “Yes!”
It was also at this time that Qin Yi, who was located at the end, shouted loudly to the generals on the Nanshen City Tower: "Prince Yi and Princess Yi were ordered to come to treat the plague. General Lu has not opened the city gate yet!"
General Lu knew Xiao Changyi. After carefully identifying it, he confirmed that Xiao Changyi was coming. He was so happy that he said hurriedly: "Open the city gate quickly. Prince Yi brings people to treat the plague!"
Gong Juechen took out realgar powder and applied it on his face, and said to An Jing and the others: "Patch it quickly."
Only then did Anjing and the others take out realgar powder and apply it on their faces.
Wang Youbao was confused and didn't know what An Jing and the others were doing.
Still calmly answered his doubts: "This is realgar powder, which can prevent the epidemic. Go back quickly and don't stay here. It's not safe here. If you come around here, remember to apply some realgar powder on your face."
"Yes!" Wang Youbao bowed to An Jing and the others first before turning around and leaving with the people.
Gong Juechen shouted from behind: "Baby, there are also elixirs, cinnabar..."
